paintings
These large scale paintings transform spaces. Fascinating juxtapositions of opposing textures in maximalist patterned landscapes abound. There might be shiny passages of gold leaf traversing across matte rugged concrete, or sequins buried in venetian plaster. They are archeological studies, inspired by the impression of time on everyday urban spaces. Graffiti on a hundred year old underpass wall which has been destroyed and created anew, or a tattered layered silk remnant reimagined as pattern stamped on wax. They are magical to engage with from varying angles, and they transform into an entirely new painting as the light changes throughout the day and night.

A black wash with blue accents is pulled in from the edges of the canvas with momentum. Above and below, a textured wash the color of wet metal expands and recedes, lending this piece the feeling of an unfocused landscape. In the foreground, a smattering of fiery orange alights.
